Answer:

f = 3.09 Hz

Explanation:

This is a simple harmonic motion exercise where the angular velocity is

         w² = \frac{k}{m}

to find the constant (k) of the spring, we use Hooke's law with the initial data

         F = - kx

where the force is the weight of the body that is hanging

        F = W = m g

we substitute

        m g = - k x

        k = - \frac{m g}{x}

we calculate

        k = - \frac{9.8 m}{- 2.6 \ 10^{-2}}

        k = 3.769 10² m

we substitute in the first equation

       w² = \frac{ 3.769 \ 10^2 \ m }{m}

       w = 19.415 rad / s

angular velocity and frequency are related

       w = 2πf

        f = \frac{w}{2\pi }

        f = 19.415 / 2pi

        f = 3.09 Hz

A simple pendulum consists of a ball connected to one end of a thin brass wire. The period of the pendulum "is 2.51 s". The temp
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

0.0034 sec

Explanation:

L = initial length

T = initial time period = 2.51 s

Time period is given as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

2.51 = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{9.8}}

L = 1.56392 m

L' = new length

ΔT = Rise in temperature = 142 °C

α = coefficient of linear expansion = 19 x 10⁻⁶ °C

New length due to rise of temperature is given as

L' = L + LαΔT

L' = 1.56392 + (1.56392) (19 x 10⁻⁶) (142)

L' = 1.56814 m

T' = New time period

New time period is given as

T' = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L'}{g}}

T' = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{1.56814}{9.8}}

T' = 2.5134 sec

Change in time period is given as

ΔT = T' - T

ΔT = 2.5134 - 2.51

ΔT = 0.0034 sec

In some areas, farmers have installed windmills to generate electricity to run the farm. Some are generating a surplus of electr
Natalija [7]
The statement that best describes how the windmill technology benefits the environment is this: WINDMILLS DO NOT POLLUTE THE ENVIRONMENT.
Constructing a windmill involves harnessing the power of the wind to generate electricity. This type of electricity generation has no side  effects whatsoever. It is environmental friendly and does not pollute the environment.

Why do you lurch forward in a bus that suddenly slows? why do you lurch backward when it picks up speed? what law applies here?
AveGali [126]
The law applied here is Newton's first law, also known as, law of inertia.
This law states that: A body will retain its state of rest or motion unless acted upon by an external force.

If you are moving and the bus suddenly stops, your body will lurch forward trying to retain its state of motion until it comes to rest and changes its state by the external force acted on it.

If you are at rest and the bus suddenly moves, your body will lurch backwards trying to retain its state of rest and opposing the force of motion until it is forced to change its state by this force.

A 60kg student traveling in a 1000kg car with a constant velocity has a kinetic energy of 1.2 x 10^4 J. What is the speedometer
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

17.64 km/h

Explanation:

mass of car, m = 1000 kg

Kinetic energy of car, K = 1.2 x 10^4 J

Let the speed of car is v.

Use the formula for kinetic energy.

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

By substituting the values

1.2\times 10^{4} = \frac{1}{2}\times 1000\times v^{2}

v = 4.9 m/s

Now convert metre per second into km / h

We know that

1 km = 1000 m

1 h = 3600 second

So, v = \left (\frac{4.9}{1000}   \right )\times \left ( \frac{3600}{1} \right )

v = 17.64 km/h

Thus, the reading of speedometer is 17.64 km/h.
